In 1970, John and Dell Stone recognized there was a need for a more upmarket and prestigious jeweler in Brisbane. Unlike the many chain jewelers, John and Del’s desire was to specialize in manufacturing, creating individually handcrafted pieces for their clients. Their simple philosophy was to offer quality pieces, value for money and good honest service. Today, those simple values remain the core values of our business. In October of that same year, they opened their first store and began trading as Stones Diamond Ring Specialists.
Since then, we have been building a reputation based on service, quality, and workmanship. Today, that reputation still stands and we are very proud that our clients return to us regularly and refer us to their family and friends. Some of our clients are second and even third generation family members. For special occasions such as engagements and anniversaries when intrinsic quality should not be compromised, we offer a magnificent range of outstanding diamond set jewelry, rings, and wedding bands. Most of the pieces we manufacture will become family heirlooms and they are all manufactured by our own craftsmen right here in the historic Brisbane Arcade.
As a Brisbane based family company, John and Del are still very much involved with the business but the heritage that began with them continues to thrive and grow through their son Paul.
